A Couple of My Writings
Posted: 24 Mar 2009 23:52
This first one started out as a poem but I ended up writing a chorus for it and made it a song. Nothing special, just something inspired by the crappy economy and other bad things in life. It's called Content With Contemplation
Staying up all night
'Cause your mind's so loud
It's like a big fight
And you're in a big crowd
Your conscience is talking
Your heart is too
But logic is knocking
And it's coming for you
You think about your past
And where you are today
Are you even going to last?
How much more do you have to pay?
It's just a big aggravation
That's plaguing the whole Nation
So get ready for some meditation
'Cause we're Content With Contemplation
You think you are content
With where you are today
Sometimes you need to vent
But it just won't go away
Nothing is what you expected
You don't know what to do
You're life is just being erected
But it crashes on top of you
Is your life just a waste?
A big waste of time?
No one else is in your place
They seem to be just fine
It's just a big aggravation
That's plaguing the whole Nation
So get ready for some meditation
'Cause we're Content With Contemplation
But the truth of the matter is
Most people aren't truly happy
Everyone goes through this
But not the same as you, exactly
Some people have trouble with love
And some with their jobs
Some just push and shove
And some go though it all
It's just a big aggravation
That's plaguing the whole Nation
So get ready for some meditation
'Cause we're Content With Contemplation
Maybe you should hit the throttle
And kick life into high gear
Or go back to hitting the bottle
And let life kick you in the rear
The latter sounds nice
But it's the easy way out
It's only adds ice
To life's water spout
Do you want to freeze things?
And stay where you are?
Or fly like you have wings
And be proud of your scars
Next is just a poem I wrote about love. I call it "Like A Cat"
I've died a few times before
But I'm alive again
Will I end up dying some more?
Or will I ever win?
I've died and gone to Hell
Then I went to Heaven
Now I'm back on Earth to dwell
My nine lives are down to seven
When I fall, I fall hard
But I always land on my feet
I watch where I walk though the yard
But I always end up falling for someone's cheat
Why can't I just control my feelings?
Why do I seem to fall so hard?
I just hate going through the process of healing
I always seem to pick the wrong card
I lose my sense of self
And live for another
I put my trust in someone else
And they squish it like butter
I'm to serious about love
And want someone who is true
But I get worn like a glove
And walked on like a shoe
Should I take a risk?
And say what's on my mind?
Or should I just ignore it?
And go on with my life?
